Abstract: In a variable speed gear change mechanism (50)
for an internal combustion engine, gear change operation
is performed by rotating a star plate (54) fixed to a shift drum (9) by
rotating a change spindle (51) and a stopper roller assembly (55) is pressed
against and engaged with a recess on the outer periphery of the
star plate. 
     The center of rotation of the aforementioned
stopper roller assembly is disposed on a straight line (X) connecting the
center of rotation (A) of the aforementioned change spindle and the
center of rotation (B) of the aforementioned shift drum, and a
pressing force toward the center of rotation of the
aforementioned shift drum is exerted on the stopper roller. 
     The usage of a ball bearing at the portion rotatably supporting
the shift drum is eliminated by equalizing the load generated during
upshifting operation and the load generated during downshifting
operation so that the sense of discomfort of the driver is eliminated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetic memory device capable
of performing stable operation efficiently using a magnetic field generated
by write current and formed with high precision while realizing a compact
configuration. Since a plating film is used for at least a part of a magnetic
yoke, as compared with the case of formation by a dry film forming method,
sufficient thickness and higher dimensional precision can be obtained.
Consequently, a more stabilized return magnetic field can be generated
and high reliability can be assured. Neighboring memory cells can be
disposed at narrower intervals, so that the invention is suitable for
realizing higher integration and higher packing density.

Abstract: In order to more effectively absorb shock energy by a
torsion bar (7) included in a motor-driven emergency locking
retractor (1), the power of a motor (12) is transmitted to a
spool (4) through a connecting gear (27) of a power
transmission mechanism (21), a pinion gear (28), a locking base
(17), the torsion bar (7), and a bushing (20), and the spool
(4) rotates so as to control the tension of a belt (3). Also,
activation of deceleration-sensing means (5) causes a pawl (16)
to rotate and to engage with internal teeth (30) formed on the
sidewall of a frame (2), thereby preventing rotation of the
locking base (17). Thus, the torsion bar (7) is twisted, and
only the spool (4) rotates. In this state, a motor-driving
unit (13) is disposed close to a locking mechanism (6) of the
torsion bar (7), and the spool (4) rotates without receiving a
resistance from the motor-driving unit (13), whereby shock
energy is easily transmitted to the torsion bar (7).

Abstract: A network connection apparatus of the invention has a list that includes at least device identification information used to identify a device as a monitor object device to be monitored by a monitor server. When the network connection apparatus is attached to the device, the network connection apparatus acquires the device's identification information from the device and determines whether the device is the monitor object device to be monitored by the monitor server, based on the acquired identification information and the list. In response to a negative result of the determination showing that the device is not the monitor object device, the network connection apparatus prevents transmission of the monitor information stored in the device to the monitor server via the network.

Abstract: Gene sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO:1-18 have been discovered and isolated, and found to be significantly associated with metastatic spread of breast and colon cancer cells to other organs. Methods are provided for determining the risk of metastasis of a breast or colon tumor, which involve determining whether a tissue sample from a tumor expresses a polypeptide encoded by a gene as shown in SEQ ID NOS:1-18, or a substantial portion thereof. One of the gene sequences encodes a novel aspartyl protease termed CSP56, which can be used to provide reagents and methods for determining which tumors are likely to metastasize and for suppressing metastases of these tumors. Clinicians can use this information to predict which tumors will metastasize to other organs and to provide relevant therapies to appropriate patients.

Abstract: In a recording tape cartridge, a compression coil spring urges a reel downward via a brake member. Due to the biasing force of the spring, a gear of the brake member securely meshes with a gear inside a reel hub preventing the reel's inadvertent rotation. The biasing force urges lock members outward in a radial direction from the center of a mount or the reel. Engagement portions of the lock members engage with an upper edge of the hub. The outer side surfaces of the engagement portions press against the inner peripheral surface of the hub, and ends of the engagement portions at a further outer side than the body portions intervene between the upper surface of an upper flange and the inner surface of a top plate to prevent rotation of the reel and to control movement of the reel in either a radial or an axial direction.
